Answer 1

To accurately determine which idea is supported by the evidence from the text, I would need the specific excerpt to analyze it for context and content. However, based on the common themes related to Nellie Bly's work, if the excerpt discusses psychiatrists' efforts to conceal information, it may support the idea that "Psychiatrists were trying to stop information about their practice at the asylum from reaching the public." If it addresses their overwhelmed state, it might support "Psychiatrists were overwhelmed with patients and could not conduct their practice thoroughly." If the focus is on their reaction to being exposed and attempting to repair their image, it might indicate "Psychiatrists knew their secrets were being exposed and were trying to do 'damage control' to repair their image."

If you can provide the excerpt you're referring to, I could give you a more precise answer.
